The proposed bill authorizes law enforcement officers in South Dakota to temporarily detain individuals whom they reasonably suspect of committing a crime. Under the new provisions, officers are permitted to stop individuals in public places, demand their names, and request additional identifying information such as addresses and dates of birth. The bill stipulates that the duration of such detentions cannot exceed sixty minutes and must remain within the immediate vicinity of the initial stop unless an arrest is made.

Additionally, the bill establishes a penalty for individuals who knowingly or intentionally refuse to provide their names when requested by law enforcement. Such refusal is classified as a Class 2 misdemeanor, thereby creating a legal consequence for non-compliance with the officer's request. This legislation aims to enhance law enforcement's ability to address suspected criminal activity while also setting clear boundaries on the duration and scope of detentions.
